| 606423 | 2007-10-29 20:54:00 | Intalled this TV card and the driver, but how do I get it to work? Do I need special software to tune in a TV station? :o | bk T (215) | ||
| 606424 | 2007-10-29 21:00:00 | Yeah you'll need some TV tuning software, its normally provided with the card on the drivers cd? Otherwise I've used a program called ChrisTV on occasion and it seems pretty good. The best bet if you've lost the CD would be to find out what program Hercules provide with the card and then download it separately. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||

I've got this card - Hercules SmartTV (as printed on the card) from an old computer, and as you've guessed, no cd, no driver, etc. I actually searched downloaded the driver from the net. Have installed the driver but don't know whether it works or not. Made a brief search last night and seems couldn't find anything relevant. |

The good news is the card uses the BT878 chipset which is very common and theres even an open source generic driver available although i've had limited success with it. If the drivers you have dont work too well the download the drivers for the Winfast TV2000 RM they seem pretty generic and work with most BT878 cards. The Winfast PVR software also works well and should work with your card, either way the PVR sofware is the easy bit and any TV tuner sofware should work with your card. |
